OK, it's time to do a craft for my youngest! She's
just beginning to make crafts and we're working on SHAPES! Make
sure you reinforce the fact that these are all triangles when you're
doing the craft. You can count the triangles and sort the
triangles. You can also talk about other things that are shaped
like circles (like a pyramid or a piece of pie).
You won't need a toilet paper roll for this craft. All
you will need is something to colour with, a printer, scissors,
glue and a piece of paper (I prefer construction paper).
- Print out the template.
- Sort the triangles into big, medium, small, and tiny. (this
is harder for the little ones than it sounds but is great practice!)
- Glue the medium triangle (the tail) onto the big triangle
(the body).
- Glue the small triangle (the fin) onto the body
- Glue the small circle (the eye) onto the body and the
tiny triangle (the mouth) onto the body.
- Print the template on heavy construction paper or card stock.
Then glue a popsicle stick or tongue depressor onto the fish
to make a puppet (if you don't have either, you can always tape
a pencil on).
- Print two black and white templates, one on red construction
paper and one on yellow construction paper. Mix and match
the pieces to make two multi-coloured fish.
- Use markers, sparkles or sparkle glue to decorate the fish
with stripes or polka dots.
Templates:
- Close the template window after printing to return to this
screen.
- Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the
template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP
in most browsers).

Read a book!

pictures to boot).
